Wine Buddy/Youngs 6 Bottle Merlot Review: Not 7 days - more like 7 weeks and no chance of 6 bottles - I am a beginner at home-brewing and having had success with a beer-making kit I thought I would try wine-making. I made the wine in a demijohn and not as the instructions suggest. The fermentation was crazy for a couple of days and bubbled a lot from the airlock. I should have fitted a cover over the demijohn as splashed quite a bit. It all settled down after a couple of days but it took 7 weeks for the airlock to stop bubbling. The instructions said check the specific gravity after 6 days but as bubbles were coming out of the airlock frequently I assumed it must still be fermenting. The temperature in the room where it was kept was a fairly constant 22 degrees Celsius so not the possible reason for slow fermentation. I expect that the specific gravity would not have been low enough at that point but I am no expert. I did not want to risk exploding bottles so just waited and waited - it was about 7 weeks when the fermentation bubbles stopped. The specific gravity was correct so I then followed the instructions and bottled the wine. The colour was dark red in the demijohn. I only was able to fill 5 and a half bottles due to the sediment level etc. The taste was excellent and somewhat sweet - which was to my liking. It tasted much the same as a shop-bought wine but perhaps sweeter than usual. The flavour may improve after storage time. The instructions need improvement to suit beginners such as myself. There was no proper explanation of what 'clear' meant. I thought it was the visual clearness, seeing through the demijohn but it was to do with the sediment being settled to the bottom. The worst thing about this was the sheer time it took to make. It saves a little money on shop-bought wine if you exclude the equipment costs but not much to make it that worthwhile. I am undecided whether to make more again. I can only give it four stars due to the exaggerated product claims. ## Features - Ingredients To Make 6 Bottles Of Merlot - Ferments In 7 Days & Comes With Full Instructions - Kit Includes - 1 x Concentrate Bottle - 1 x Yeast Nutrient - 1 x Stabiliser - French Oak Chips - Finings - You Will Require 900g Of Sugar Or Brewing Sugar, Basic Brewing Equipment For 6 Bottles Of Wine. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BQ9Q67K | | ASIN | B00BQ9Q67K | | Best Sellers Rank | 40,313 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 179 in Red Wine | | Brand | WineBuddy | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (165) | | Customer reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (165) | | Date First Available | 25 Jan. 2010 | | Dominant Varietal | Merlot | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Manufacturer | Wine Buddy/Youngs | | Manufacturer | Wine Buddy/Youngs | | Manufacturer reference | 1656 | | Manufacturer reference | 1656 | | Product Dimensions | 7.01 x 11.51 x 17.5 cm; 621 g | | Product Dimensions | 7.01 x 11.51 x 17.5 cm; 621 g | | Type | Red Wine | | Units | 1.00 Pack | | Weight | 621 g | ## Images ![Wine Buddy/Youngs 6 Bottle Merlot - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71f5eu8itAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tasty wine, easy to make. *by S***R on 23 April 2018* Brilliant for getting started with your homebrewing, easy to follow instructions, just make sure you have the full kit to get started, just search for this brand and starter kits for all you need.

Just remember you do need to buy items including 1kg of sugar. However is very easy to brew. The fermentation is very vigorous so make sure you put your demijohn into a bucket or basin. I found the clarification takes longer than advised but its worth the wait as the flavour is excellent.
